Return Transport: Reading - Ascot Racecourse
We know what it’s like, you think you have got every detail nailed and then someone says ‘How are we getting to the activities?’ One thing that your stag do really doesn’t want to worry about when you arrive on unfamiliar turf is how to get from A to B and when we say that we arrange everything, we mean everything.

We make sure that you get to your chosen day time activity by having a shuttle bus all ready and waiting at your accommodation to take your stag do there automatically. No hassles, just step in, step out and carry on with the fun.

Horse Racing Ascot
Place your bets and position yourself with a good view of the course, Ascot is poised to take you galloping through a day of stag do highs, whether you win or lose.

This well equipped venue will keep you occupied all day, at the bar, at the tote and at the stands as you cheer yourself horse (couldn’t resist that one!). This package is based on a minimum stag do group size of 10, if you have a smaller group please contact us for a price. Our useful tip…. Bring your binoculars, you’ll thank us later.

I would like to let you know that I was extremely impressed by the ease of which our weekend went. It was hassle free from start to finish. The hotel was excellent as was the breakfast.the mini bus was on time both ways. It was easy obtaining the tickets and vouchers from Ascot racecourse and the day at the races was a highlight of all that took part. The comedy club was brilliant and we finnished of with rather copious amounts of beer and champagne.

So I guess all that's required from me on behalf of all the group is massive big thank you. It's all to easy for someone to complain and I guess I felt obliged to owe it to you all at design adventure to show my appreciation so once again many thanks

Excellent staff from start ot finish!!! The girls were helpful attentive and genuinely cared about us all. I couldn't ask for more from a clearly excellent team!!! Anyone tasked with organising a stag do will know it can be a real nightmare. I have organised 3 now and can truly say that the team made it easy and a smooth operation. Friendly, knowledgeable and caring staff made the experience effortless! We had an amazing hassle free day and even when i was stuck on the day due to my own incompetence the girls were on hand to go above and beyond the call of duty to help!!! I work in a customer service environment and quite frankly be proud to have a team like this working under me. I will be sure to recommend you guys to anyone who needs an excellent team to assist with their stag do's!!! Keep up the good work

Amazing weekend from start to finish!!!!

Booked up with these guys after being recommended by a friend who had used them last year. They didn't disappoint! Everything was made so easy and everyone that I spoke to was really super helpful. We booked up to go to Reading to spend a girly day at the races. Everyone was really impressed with the hotel, location and leisure facilities were great! To top the weekend the bride also managed to back a winner in most of the races! I wasn't so lucky lol! 14 extremely happy girls, thanks Designaventure. Oh and I'll be sending my boyfriend your way to arrange his best mates send off :)
